There is a Muslim cemetery adjacent to the Herod Gate entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City that has been used in recent months to bury terrorists responsible for the wave of deadly terror since last Rosh Hashanah. This locale is rapidly becoming a site for pilgrimage by radical Muslims wishing to identify with these Shahids, Yisrael Hayom reports. Flowers and Palestinian flags are placed on graves of these despicable murderers in an effort to hail them as heroes.
Visitors are taking photos of themselves aside these graves while holding up two fingers in a ‘V’ for victory.
The report quotes ‘Lach Yerushalayim’ (“For You Jerusalem) head Maor Zemach saying “Letting this practice take place at the heart of the Israeli capital, having terrorist being honored in broad daylight without anyone lifting a finger, is just mind-boggling.”
Zemach calls on Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan to act to prevent this from becoming a larger trend, which he fears will lead to additional bloodshed.
